Spoilt like mad

Lisa it's your birthday...Happy Birthday Lisaaa.

The Simpsons.

I always replaced Lisa with Debbie, but I hum it every birthday.

I turned 26 yesterday, The Daddy Man said i am still in my mid twenties. I don't know whether to believe him, when does mid become late??

That's kind of scary as it looms ahead. You know I still feel 18, young and fresh, waiting for where the world determines I fit.

I do feel less naive though, I have learnt much these past 12 years. I cannot drink a bottle of vodka anymore without vomiting!

It's interesting, I am a woman now, not even on that cusp of girldom and womanhood. Just a straight up woman! Age is my future, youth my past. But I still don't have any wrinkles....for now.

I was looking up stuff that happened the day I was born around the world.

Nothing exciting seemed to happen, no caught serial killers or miss universe debacles.

But I share my day with a few coolio people

One of my fave comedians and i share our birthday!

Benjamin Franklin

She is pretty swell, and we share the same name! (my middle name)

My day consisted of - 

11:45am: I was woken up after a glorious sleep in, to bacon and eggs.

12:30pm: After finishing the breakfast of all breakkie's, the kids jumped in bed and proceeded to massage my feet and shoulders. I checked my facebook and discovered over 100 Birthday messages.

12:45pm-3pm: I played Just dance kids on wii with my boys, ate a scrumptious lunch and spoke to my dad on the phone.

3pm: The Daddy Man disappeared for a few hours and left me home with the kidlets, the kids tidied the lounge room without being asked and put the dishes away

4pm: The kids had still barely been naughty and sat quietly watching a movie.

5:30pm: The Daddy Man came home bearing gifts! A foot beauty set, a large bottle of electric pink vodka, a zombie wii game (which rocks mind you) and wii guns!

6:30pm: My surprise favourite meal arrived...CHINESE. 

For 17 weeks I haven't had one dose of Chinese because of my eating plans, this was a wonderful surprise.

7:00pm: The Daddy Man brought out a gorgeous surprise mud cake that we all devoured.

7:30pm: The kids went to bed and The Daddy Man and I cracked open my new bottle of vodka, enjoyed drinks and watched a movie.

It was a lovely birthday and I am so happy I have a wonderful family to share it with.

Through the course of the whole day I didn't lift a finger. No housework, no cleaning, no cooking. AMAZING!!

I woke up this morning in a food coma with the post birthday blues. I had dishes and washing to do. But the kids have carried their great behaviour over and I feel on top of the world!

My son, My heart

Tman,


The way you yell and boss everyone around infuriates me.


The way you assume the father role whenever The Daddy Man leaves the house infuriates me.


The way you wont clean your bedroom anymore makes my brain want to implode.


 You are so outspoken and strong willed, you never back down like a 7 year old should


You are loud and stressful and drive me nuts some days.


You are too trusting and I hate when that bites you.

But you know what.I couldn't live without you.


When anyone is sad you are always there for cuddles.


You are becoming so independent yet will always help your younger siblings if I am busy.


You can now make your own sandwiches, even if the tomato slices are as thick as a plank, and cordial.


You look like your auntie so much, I look at you and see her face and resilience and it makes me smile.


I never wanted a redheaded boy, but the day i saw your blazing red fuzz i couldn't help but be proud, you are gorgeous and I adore you with every breath.


You are funny and cheeky. You are helpful and encouraging.


Although you hated learning in prep, you are now at the top of your class at the end of year 1.


Although your voice makes my head hurt I love that you breakout into song every so often and perform concerts with your brothers and sister as backup.


We couldn't do without you here son, you are becoming a fine young man and we are so very happy.


We love you to the moon and back...foreverandeverandeverandever.

A hug for your little brother
